help@cems.uvm.edu telling us your issue and that you are in the queue for remote support.

9.) Once Tim, Jim or Victor takes the request and connects to your computer the SimpleHelp status will say
"The technician is now in session with you"

The support person will click on a button on his screen asking for permission to change your computer.
You will see a small window pop up.
